For this week, I have been talking to Matt and study support about how to settle on what I should do for my dissertation. I have come to conclusion that I should look into the importance of visual effects and how it can complement/reflect a characters personality by using personification and/or pathetic fallacy.
How I came about this was due to me watching lots of interviews from the animation team of "Frozen" and "Moana". The interviews are useful as you are able to get a better insight into how their developmental process is done to create their visual effects. Not only that, the interviews from the team of "Moana" were particularly interesting due to the character animation team and vfx team had to work together to create personified visual effects.
Practical-
I have been working on trying to learn Maya still. I have managed to be able to get a hold of where everything is and and the vfx roughly work, but I still need to understand how to animate and control the vfx.
I have also been comparing the difference between realistic and "cartoon" rain to see if there will be a difference in how the audience perceives the character.
The clip below shows how Disney animates rain. I have found that for the most part of their films they tend to keep the environment fairly realistic.

For this clip that Pixar created, they made the overall look of the film realistic, but I believe that they have made the droplets look too over exaggerated.
These are examples of real rain scenarios to compare from in different intensities and environments.
